Come see what's cooking at BCS!
Welcome! Cooking with Kids is a positive experience
with healthy foods. Through hands-on
classes, children learn that good food is
delicious and that cooking is an important
way to take care of yourself. A 5th grader
says it best: "Do you know what the
passion of food is? It's the way the food
smells and tastes- it's the food that I like!"

The Bacolod Cooking School will be running culinary training classes for children every Saturday during the summer season. For information, parents should call Academy director chef Shangrila Chua on 435 0506.
